Created with Michelle Wang
Featuring Elizabeth Huston, harp; Justin Moore, trombone; Eric Derr, percussion; and Marc as The Conductor
The Nervous System Symphony is a video installation, conceived by artist Michelle Wang and presented as a video projected in a gallery space with three-channel audio playback. The video is a documentation of a live performance: it concerns the gaze of power, as a conductor figure (played by the composer) uses hand signals to direct three musicians on raised scaffolding to play segments of a semi-aleatoric score he composed for them. In the gallery above, an audience watches. The piece has been presented in galleries in Philadelphia, New York, and Brussels.
